[D’backs.com] Kelly gives D-backs much-needed innings - It wasn’t a pristine line for Merrill Kelly -- three runs allowed over seven innings of work -- but it was pretty good, and most important, he pitched deep in the game. By going seven innings, the right-hander kept manager Torey Lovullo from having to use long man Zack Godley, meaning Godley can start Sunday’s series finale. Had the team had to use Godley to get through Saturday’s game, it would have made for a mess of a bullpen game Sunday, and thrown the team’s pitching plans into disarray.
